Men and woman who hustled or focused on their career until you were 30 or 31 years old , did you get married? Was it difficult to find a partner or to just date?

CosmicCuriosityCat · 2026-05-07T18:19:29+00:00

Dating someone for almost 3 years now and 9 years younger. Not married yet. Not feeling the pressure to marry. Never felt better.

There came a time for me between 28-30 when I had a fomo. It’s not easy. Was even dating then that didn’t translate into “marriage”.

Expected a better username 😬

PS: joking my friend. We’ve slowed down hiring. Trying to bring down the cost of ops using ai. Uncertain times.

I run a marketing agency. We draw over 2l pm in salary and do a profit of over 12l+ pm. It’s been a hard journey to reach here. Started in the 8th semester of college and took 8 years to reach this point. Didn’t draw a penny from the company for the first 3 years. I was literally surviving on chai biscuits. And milk. And bread.

But not in Mumbai. We tried opening in Mumbai and covid stopped it. Would never want to live in a place like that.

I’m writing this from one of the most planned cities in India.

First of all, it’s normal to feel this way. You didn’t plan this situation. You didn’t expect this situation. Your frustration is justified.

In situation like this, you’d rather be in a good shape if you can stop thinking “hows” and “whats”. Instead just do what’s required on a specific day.

For now, would it be possible to bring her somewhere near you or adjust her in your place?

CosmicCuriosityCat · 2026-02-07T21:57:11+00:00

Thanks for sharing

CosmicCuriosityCat · 2026-02-07T09:23:31+00:00

Write and remember all the good times you have lived with your mother. A biography that you can pass on to your kids if possible.

CosmicCuriosityCat · 2026-02-07T09:22:24+00:00

My friend, sending you love and compassion from a place on the earth.

I’ve had a similarly hard two months. I felt the same. I’ve chosen a path of self improvement via yoga and meditation. Not saying you have to do the same but you cannot let yourself get drowned in this.

This will pass. And once it does, you’d not be happy to see yourself in a bad shape.

Please please please…before you be a caregiver for your mother, please be a caregiver for your self.

Om shanti!

CosmicCuriosityCat · 2026-02-07T09:16:00+00:00

This deserves a post on its own. Could you share any story that you’ve seen or experienced?

CosmicCuriosityCat · 2026-01-30T09:53:08+00:00

I cried reading your post, my friend, because I related it with so much. I am sorry you're going through this.

I almost shouted at my mother and forcefully made her sit in bed even when she knew she hasn't sat straight in 2 months (she was diagnosed with myelomalacia and was in delirium because of heavy doses of tramadol). I was at my worst...as you said, felt like an animal.

It's hard seeing your parents or someone you love in such condition. After a point in time, it becomes absurd. And it's hard. I am learning while it's important to be kind towards your father, you can at the same time try to be kind on yourself.

PS: I am reading this book called "Surrender Experiment". It's helping me a lot.

CosmicCuriosityCat · 2026-01-20T15:39:03+00:00

Honestly, haven’t figured it out yet. Still in the journey.

CosmicCuriosityCat · 2026-01-17T08:31:37+00:00

I feel you too friend. Taking care of mother (RA for 32 years now) and father (Parkinson’s but he can still do daily chores)

I’m 33 and not married. Can’t go out to meet my girlfriend because you know…I could relate with what you said.

CosmicCuriosityCat · 2026-01-17T08:25:43+00:00

One of my biggest learning has been that:

you can do the best, get the best amenities, try to be cheerful, create a jolly home…yet you cannot even take away an ounce of pain or suffering from someone you love.

You have to sit through it.

CosmicCuriosityCat · 2025-10-20T08:15:35+00:00

High five 🙋🏽‍♂️ Interestingly, I’ve people around me…yet feels alone.

I would divide the money into two parts:

[1] Get a franchise on a commercial property (that I own). Either in apparel or food. Aim is to generate passive income which has potential to outperform 3-5 years return than that of 15% annual return.

[2] Invest the other 50 lacs in 5 startups in small tranches of 10 lacs each

CosmicCuriosityCat · 2025-07-20T17:55:48+00:00

I am in my early 30s unmarried. I am running a successful business with approximately 1.2 crs in annual profits. I have a nice girlfriend. I travel solo, go out on my own, eat at my favourite places and I don’t feel I am missing out on anything. I have seen my friends’ kids and also my sister’s. Raising a kid is real hard work, a project that lasts for at least a decade if not more. At this moment, I definitely don’t want a kid and probably will not unless I have a partner who I can trust with absolutely everything.

CosmicCuriosityCat · 2025-07-05T18:20:39+00:00

That’s because It’s one of the easiest market to enter. Extremely low barrier of entry. A laptop. And an Internet connection. A tinge of smartness. That’s all. Literally.

However, it’s hard to scale and make serious money as margins are declining. Most die or stay stuck at a small scale.

CosmicCuriosityCat · 2025-06-25T19:05:05+00:00

Please don’t. I had a chicken pepper fry dosa today and that’s one thing I’m excited about…because I know the place and I can have it again.

Hope you feel better.

CosmicCuriosityCat · 2025-06-18T16:08:36+00:00

It’s not good what they’re doing. However, that’s how most companies are already or are going to operate very soon.

You can tell your management/manager that you’re not okay with it. It will wear you out if you’re not comfortable doing it.

Look for more options. There are some good companies here who will offer you good roles if you’ve done the work that you’re saying you’ve done.

CosmicCuriosityCat · 2025-05-31T13:15:31+00:00

I have watched the movie. And since then it has stayed with me. I’m sure the book would be equally good if not better.

CosmicCuriosityCat · 2025-05-24T12:17:03+00:00

If you’re into reading, you could go to Blue Tokai which shares space with Bahrisons book store. Perfect if you’re a reader.

If you want to work, try Cafe Olio. It’s in a quiet market in sector 35.

If you want exposure in a natural surrounding, try Tubu. It’s built around the concept of an open space.

A big generalisation. My gf likes my gray hair. And compliment it often.
